Was Jesus A Refugee

 

Jesus' family fled to Egypt after an angel warned Joseph of Herod's plan to kill the child. Matthew 2:13 records their urgent escape - but did fleeing to Egypt make Jesus a refugee? Some say yes, citing His family's relocation from Judea to Egypt. However, what does a closer look at the events tell us about whether or not Jesus was a refugee? Find out the answer in my latest video.

Is God Hovering Over Us?

Christians often say one thing about grace and live another under law. In this video, we explore a tension many believers face: the fear of God hovering over their lives demanding they behave. However, the pressure to perform, and the subtle shift from Spirit-led living to flesh-driven striving doesn't come from God above, but from a place closer to home. Through scripture and real-life examples, we unpack what it truly means to walk in the will of God—without falling into religious traps.

Watch, reflect, and rethink what it means to live a life of faith and avoid a life of works. Resources: The Need for Good Teaching livinggodministries.net/living_god_ministries/radio_archive/audio_files/galatians_40_the_need_for_good_teaching_6_3_18.mp3

Jesus is God!

 Jesus isn’t just a teacher, prophet, or miracle worker—He is God in the flesh. This short highlights powerful scriptures that declare His divine identity. Every verse points to one truth: Jesus is fully God. Let this be a reminder, a declaration, and a call to worship.

The Meaning of Life

 

What does a mathematical equation have to do with the meaning of life? Would it interest you to know that there are four desires of our hearts that when met by God will lead to an answer to this question? This video explores a truth hidden in plain sight, one that touches every heart and will rewrite every story. Watch to discover the answer to an age old question.

Why would those closest to you become your enemy?

 

Psalm 69:7–9 and Matthew 10:34–36 both reveal the tension between devotion to God and relational fallout. David speaks of bearing reproach and becoming a stranger to his own family because of his zeal for God’s house. Jesus echoes this cost, declaring that His coming will divide households—not with peace, but with a sword of truth.

The Sinking of Lordship Salvation

Is Lordship Salvation sinking under the weight of its own proclamations?

This video dives deep into the language, logic, and scripture behind one of the most prominent teachings in modern Christianity. If you've ever wrestled with what it means to be truly saved, or wondered whether grace still means freedom, this one's for you. Watch as we separate biblical truth from theological fog.

Why do we need a mediator?

 

1 Timothy 2:5 emphasizes the exclusive role of Jesus Christ as the sole mediator between God and humanity, affirming both His divinity and humanity. The use of one God affirms monotheism, a foundational belief in both Judaism and Christianity. Referring to Jesus as the one mediator shows that He is uniquely qualified to reconcile humanity to God. Unlike Old Testament priests who mediated through repeated sacrifices, Jesus offered Himself once for all. By saying "the man Christ Jesus," Paul emphasizes Jesus’ humanity here. His incarnation—God becoming man—is essential to His role as mediator. Only by becoming human could He fully represent us and bear our sins.

How does Jesus as the only mediator between God and men tie into the Gospel?

Revelation 22:14 Doing His Commandments

 

As a Christian, if someone presents you with a verse like Revelation 22:14, where it talks about doing the Commandments of God, how do you reconcile that when scripture also teaches that we are not under the law? I had someone present this verse to me after I said we are unable to keep the commandments of God and follow up with, "So what [does] this mean? Because how are we unable to keep them if it says, “blessed are they that do his commandments?“

Are we somehow to mix law and grace in order to uphold this verse?

Is there something about this verse that we are not seeing correctly?

How do you get the right to sit with Jesus on His throne?

The three different translations of Revelation 3:21 arise from variations in Greek phrasing, interpretive choices, and theological emphasis across Bible versions. 

Does the condition that Jesus set for the ones who get to sit beside Him on the throne mean we have to perform a work to meet His condition? 

If not, How does one become an overcomer, a conqueror, and a victor?

Hebrews 4:1 Entering His Rest

 

It is my experience that much of Christianity knows more about the Sabbath Day and being under the law then they do the Sabbath rest that God has called us into because of the finished work of Jesus Christ. However, Hebrews 4 warns us to be careful not to fall short of entering into the Sabbath rest that remains. 

What is this Sabbath rest that God wants us to enter into?

Why do Christians fall short of entering into it?

What does it mean to be Christ's ambassador?

2 Corinthians 5:20

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

The Dividing Line of History

Is the change from using BC/AD to BCE/CE just political correctness gone too far—or does it expose a deeper issue within the Church?  

In this video, I try to unpack how this timing debate reveals a theological blind spot: the Church often marks the shift from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant at Jesus’ birth. But, is this how God marks the shift between the Covenants?

When does a covenant go into effect?

How does knowing when the old Covenant ends in the New Covenant began affect how we understand the scriptures? 

Watch now and rethink what truly divides the covenants.

What's the difference between a believer and a follower of Christ?

 

A believer, from a New Testament perspective, is one who trusts in God's promises, is convinced that Jesus has been raised from the dead, and one who has become convinced that Jesus is the Messiah and author of salvation. A follower of Christ is defined simply as a Christian. Given this description of a believer and a follower of Christ, would you say there is a difference between that and a "follower of Christ"? Some would say, "Yes." Find out what I think in this short video
